Comment (by SECUSO_Kristoffer):

 Thanks for your comment!

 Currently, like you said, PassSec shows a wrong indicator on onion sites.
 We plan to add an additional case to mark these sites as safe.

 Regarding your second question on the icons: No third party content is
 loaded. All icons/images are included within this add-on. The user's
 choice of any specific icon is therefore not leaked. All computations are
 local, like the different indicators. PassSec checks if there https is
 available on a specific website by sending a request to the site the user
 currently visits. PassSec injects the icons locally based on the analysis
 of the website and the request.

 If you have any further questions please comment again. Thanks.
